Design Scripts

Question

Anyone know where I can find a good thread fully describing these? Here is what I am looking to do, maybe I don't need a design script and there is a better way of doing it. 
 I have existing elements on their respective levels in my profile. Right now they are on a 0 weight and "grey-scale" color. Our client might want this changed to non-grey-scale and a weight 1 down the road. Instead of going to all 50 plan & profiles and changing it back and forth. I would like to do something like (I dont know much about "coding" or anything mind you), levelname = color,weight,style. 
 Is there a way to achieve this quickly using a design script/pen table?

Using a MicroStation pen table will probably be the easiest method for you not being familiar with either. In the Print dialog, select Resymbolization - New Pen Table. Enter a name.tbl and select Save. This will open the new pen table in the Modify Pen Table dialog. A new section will be automatically added. You can add other sections under the Edit menu. There are two tabs on the right. In the Element Selection Criteria, select the attributes you want to test on: Color ( enter 232-236), Level (select the Level item and a list of levels will be presented, pick the appropriate ones), Weight (enter 0). On the Element Output Actions tab, check mark the color and take the default By Index 0, check mark Weight and select 1 from the options. Save the pen table and attach at the bottom of the Print dialog or in Print Organizer. 
 There is detailed information regarding Pen Tables in the MicroStation online help (Help - Contents) under Working with Complete Designs - Printing - Print Resymbolization and Pen Tables. 
 Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions or problems.

For the record, design scripts are covered in the MicroStation V8i help file under Working with Complete Designs > Printing > Print Resymbolization and Design Scripts. It covers some key words and some syntax. I know no more than this, so I don't know if it covers the most advanced features of the language. (I'm just now starting to look into it for my own purposes, which led me to find this thread.)
